Jeremiah 1:4-5
"Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying:“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.”
Ephesians 1:11
11 In him we were also chosen,[a] having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will,
"Life is but a dream sweetheart", remember those words from an old time song? The truth is "life" was planned with purpose and was and is ordained by our living God. "He created the heavens and the earth" and created man to build this universe. (Genesis 1:1) Upon conception, a child is a living human being. Where anyone can dispute that abortion is not murder needs to seek the Lord. And quickly for they are accountable for their thoughts and their hearts and should any of them lose their own life today and stand before the Lord on His throne, they will have to answer for it. "Though shall not kill" is a commandment from the Lord. (Exodus 20:13) Life begins at conception, not at birth. If life began at birth, then how can someone explain the person growing inside the mother's womb? Does a baby just "magically" grow from a seed to a full grown person on their own? God is the giver of life and anyone else that ends such life has committed a sin and must repent. Sadly, this subject continues to divide our society. But the debate on life and death does not end there, for many adults struggle with suicide, taking one's own life. We all must respect the Giver of life and glorify Him with our life, not seek out to destroy it. For we must believe that He can work anything out for our good. "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose". (Romans 8:28) Any other action we take is lack of faith. We must know that He can heal any hurt and turn any mistake we make into a miracle. We must know that our messes will become His messages. He created you, He loves you, seek Him in all matters of your life. Do not rely on your own self. "Lean not on your own understanding, but instead trust God with all your heart", no matter how hopeless it seems. (Proverbs 3:5) TRUST GOD!
Psalm 139:13-16
For You formed my inward parts
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
My frame was not hidden from You,
When I was made in secret,
And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.
Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
And in Your book they all were written,
The days fashioned for me,
When as yet there were none of them.
